I love LARP (not lamp, darnit!). Over the years I have been involved in a number of hobbies, from paintball to poetry, and none of them has captured my imagination and brought a healthy balance to my life like LARP. This would generally be the point in the introduction where I say something like “it’s the people, maaaaaaan,”

As noted on our LARP calendar, I have chosen to narrowly define LARP for the purposes of this blog. There is a large and growing umbrella of Live Action Role-Paying games from Vampire the Masquerade and other “hotel” events – I don’t really care about all of that, because when you open the scope too wide you end up arguing with some Finnish asshole about latex weapons for far longer than is good for your health or their economy.

Primarily I am someone who is just so damn tired of trolls. I could just delete my Facebook account and call it a day, but unfortunately Facebook and its resultant groups are the way many people organize and form communities, and at its core LARP is all about community and memes.
